weekly/monthly reporting tool?
by Joshua Elson 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hi all, I was wondering if there is any sort of reporting tool for Observium? We are looking to get a weekly and/or monthly break down of CPU and memory for all 100 or so of our servers. It has become tedious to go through each server one by one each time we need to gather all these details. As always, thanks in advance!

Add disk status to Buffalo Terastation
by Stefano Cordio 09 May '14

09 May '14

Hey guys, I'd like to implement an addition for my NAS box, a Buffalo Terastation. This NAS sends a daily report about the available space and the state of the disks. Observium already grabs details about the space, so I'd like to also add support to disk status/diagnostics (I already have the needed MIB files). The following is a MIB snippet: ------------------------------------------------------ nasDiskStatus OBJECT-TYPE SYNTAX INTEGER { notSupport(-1), normal(1), array1(2), array2(3), standby(4), degrade(5), remove(6), standbyRemoved(7), degradeRemoved(8), removeRemoved(9) } MAX-ACCESS read-only STATUS current DESCRIPTION "The state of local disks. This value is read from 'diskx' line in file /etc/melco/diskinfo. notSupport(-1) indicates the disk slot is not exist. normal(1) indicates the disk is not part of RAID array. array1(2) indicates the disk is part of array1. array2(3) indicates the disk is part of array2. standby(4) indicates the disk is standby and power-off. degrade(5) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array, and power-off. remove(6) indicates the disk has removed from array by user and power-off. standbyRemoved(7) indicates the disk is standby and removed from NAS. degradeRemoved(8) indicates the disk has degraded and removed from array and NAS. removeRemoved(9) indicates the disk has removed from array and NAS." ::= { nasDiskEntry 2 } ------------------------------------------------------ I'm not sure which is the best location in the device page for showing these informations. Could we consider these as a kind of sensor or is it something inventory-related? Actually I need a design advice. Would be really nice if you could also give me a pointer to a similar existing code. I strongly believe in learning by example :-) Thanks, Stefano

Selective Alerts?
by Hamilton, Kent 08 May '14

08 May '14

I'm new to Observium, and was playing with email alerting. Is there a way to selectively disable alerts? For example I'd like to disable over-under voltage alerts from systems. Even in my test set up which only includes 300 devices leaving those types of alerts enabled resulted in over 800 emails last night. -- [exegy_119x45_xparent]<http://www.exegy.com/> S.

L2tp not creating interfaces
by Oliver Paget 08 May '14

08 May '14

Hi folks, wonderful product :):) I was just wondering if the L2tp section is in dev or is completed. I can't get it to work and as far as I have troubleshooted I can see that there are not any ports being picked up when my lns is scanned for this functionality to work. I haven't configured anything specific, it appears as you just snmp scan the device and it should pick the session tracking up for the l2tp tab. I can see everything else is working, am I missing something> Cheers, OJ

Power Supplys
by Matthias Cramer 07 May '14

07 May '14

Dear List Is there a general Idea hos to handle power supplies in observium? Via a sensor seams somewhat wrong for me, because I do not get any voltage or similar readings, only presence and status info. What I like to do us to monitor power supplies for presence and failure especially of Brocade MLXe and ICX devices. Mib description of that is at page 116 (92) and on of the following document: http://www.brocadechina.com/download/fsx/Unified_IP_MIB_Oct2011_Reference.p… Also nice would be something similar for fans as staring on page 118 (94).

Load monitoring

Hi all, We would like to trigger an alarm when the load is too high on our servers monitored by observium. If I understand correctly this documentation page (*), it's not possible to create an alarm based on load? There is some plan to implement this option? Thanks, Fabrice (*) http://www.observium.org/wiki/Alerting_Metrics_and_Attributes

Alert Checker in CE
by Jeremy Alberts 06 May '14

06 May '14

Hello, This question could have been asked a few times now, but I cant find the answer in the mailing list archive. My question is: Before the new release in April the alerting system was checked and in brackets 'Future Release'. In April the new CE release was released. Is the alerting system present in the new CE version? If so, how can I create alert checkers on for example storage? With kind regards, Jeremy Alberts

Lost APC Outlet Graphs
by Nicholas Schmidt 03 May '14

03 May '14

I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened but I just noticed this after I updated to the latest subscriber version. I use APC PDUs which allows per outlet SNMP monitoring. Graphing of each outlet was working previously but it is no longer there. The device information is correct: APC Web/SNMP Management Card (MB:v3.8.6 PF:v5.1.4 PN:apc_hw05_aos_514.bin AF1:v5.1.2 AN1:apc_hw05_rpdu2g_512.bin MN:AP8681 HR:02 SN: ZA1248014109 MD:11/23/2012) RRDs of each outlet still exist in the RRD directory: sensor-power-apc-rPDU2OutletMeteredStatusPower.6.rrd sensor-power-apc-rPDU2OutletMeteredStatusPower.7.rrd sensor-power-apc-rPDU2OutletMeteredStatusPower.8.rrd sensor-power-apc-rPDU2OutletMeteredStatusPower.9.rrd But none of the graphs are present Voltage, Current, and Power graphs for each phase are still properly being graphed. Any help?

Alert checker for device down

Hi, Is there a way for using the new alerting system to send an e-mail when a device goes down? I see in the wiki that there is a "device_status" metric, but I can't figure out how to use it. There is no "Device" entity type when I try to make a new alert checker. Is this feature still in development? Erik

Strange temperature and voltage readings
by Matthew A Harper 02 May '14

02 May '14

Hi Guys, First time posting - Be gentle ;) I've recently implemented Observium for our department and am absolutely loving it. However after an update this morning I have noticed that some devices are reporting weird readings for their sensors. Temperature and voltage specifically are reporting absurd variables (2209 degrees CPU temp / 1.45KV on a 1.2V rail). http://i.imgur.com/MG5NBA8.png - Random sample of temperature http://i.imgur.com/u8Emr3J.png - Random sample of voltage This issue seems to affect CISCO hardware but does not seem to be specific to a particular model or software revision and has only occurred since the DB Schema was updated this morning. Is anyone else seeing similar results with version 5405? Oh and yes, I confirmed these devices are not on fire or being struck by lightning. :) Regards, Matt. *********************************************************************** WARNING: This email (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.

2 things with alerting
by Bastiaan Topper 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Hi, We have 2 strange things with the alerting system since a few days. - 1. The frontpage displays ports up/down, even when the alerting for that port is disabled in the device settings. Is this normal? Because this wasn't till a few days ago. [cid:image001.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] [cid:image002.png@01CF5ED2.3C5BB560] - 2. Some alert checks worked fine for months, but now they fail. (I only have the database output, because the http://observium/alert_checks/ links returns a blank page, maybe because the result is too big?): [cid:image003.png@01CF5ED2.7A406F60] I attached the debug poll of one of the devices. The polling debug output returns: Checking alert 4 associated by 4 replaced @sensor_limit with 5.92 from entity. Testing: sensor_value greater 5.92 (value: 5.187) FAIL replaced @sensor_limit_low with 4.37 from entity. Testing: sensor_value less 4.37 (value: 5.187) OK Checks failed. Generate alert. What I expect (and what it did for the last months) this alert rule to do, is to fail when the sensor value is not between the threshold ranges. It looks like it is only for the voltage and current sensors. [cid:image004.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] When I check the settings and alerting thresholds, they look fine to me. [cid:image005.png@01CF5ED4.23531980] Am I doing something wrong? Or is this some kind of bug? Thanks and regards, Bastiaan Topper
